Not often that we're scored more than one goal in a game under Puel, but when we have, it's almost an unspoilt record.

 

Though "knocking out a few" could become synonymous with "Gabby scoring....."

 

Good enough to stay there when Boufal is back (ie pushing Boufal out wide)? Centrally does seem to be where Boufal plays best, but very early days still for him.

 

I won't argue with you as that is clearly true. Personally, I don't think signing a proven good player proves much about the black box, that's all.

 

Well that's us buggered then. We only get 8 against these lot.

 

Billy incoming...

 

Sure thing. We have a magic black box. This, I see, is now crucial to our sense of pride.

For me, we have a good player and some rather amusing mythology. Whatever floats your boat.

 

Why does the saints fan in me still have a niggling feeling?

 

Because matches last 90 minutes?

 

Because of your 4th and 5th words

 

I'm not at all surprised. I just don't think it's always rational.

Vin

 

I understand what you mean, but I'd also suggest that our recruitment, and reputation for incredibly canny recruitment, somewhat undermines your point.

 

Nearly the hat trick!

 

Could have been his third

 

We've got to have a calm ten minutes now, otherwise all this back slapping could look a tad premature.
Concentration is key.

 

Obviously weren't THAT confident to post that before we were 2-0 up though

 

stop it!

 

You stop it!

 

That's fine.
So long as we win.
